Update EURSSEM: Appendix A<p>Finalizing the literature study about &#8220;radiological contaminants and also hazardous contaminants that are detected in the paste during remediation activities of radioactively contaminated sites&#8221;, had taken more time then expected.</p>
<p>At this moment EURSSEM is now in the process of a large update: &#8220;Adding the new Appendix A&#8221;. Further existing references will be updated and new ones will be added.</p>
<p>These processes will take some time as a large number of small redactional changes have to take care of.</p>Leo van Velzenhttp://eurssem.eu/posts/update-eurssem-appendix-a
Extending EURSSEM with an overview of detected radioactive contaminants worldwide<p>In the past months, after the release of the paper in July, a literature study has been performed to create an overview of “Contaminants detected at radioactively contaminated sites worldwide: radioactive and hazardous”. At this moment the new appendix is under review and then it will be transferred to the web-site and released.<br />
At this moment, it is possible to add more contaminants to this overview and especially we are looking for information over<br />
• “the relative mobility” of contaminants in soil and groundwater and under which conditions. <br />
• Example sites</p>Leo van Velzenhttp://eurssem.eu/posts/extending-eurssem-with-an-overview-of-detected-radioactive-contaminants-worldwide

Follow up WMC2010 - Upcoming Conference ICEM2010 and news about EURSSEM<p><strong>Follow-up Waste Management Conference 2010 at Phoenix</strong></p>
<p>The Waste Management Conference 2010 at Phoenix was a success. IAEA had focused in this Conference with 4 special sessions dealing with its new network “ENVIRONET”. This new IAEA network was launched officially at the general meeting September 2009. A presentation about EURSSEM (background, aim, benefits etc.) was presented at Monday morning in the first of the four special IAEA sessions.</p>
<p>At this WM Conference a number of papers dealt with new techniques and methods applied already in environmental remediation projects and some tested just in a first experimental setup, but very promising. This information will certainly be addressed in EURSSEM as soon as the proceedings of the WM Conference become available.</p>
